To the Departed

[billy]

A letter written
one day too late
finds no place
on mail planes,
bound to the states
a map can place. this line feels excess, 2nd place

Its words, unopened, unopened works on it it's own, it's words is redundant
keep regrets chained, keep is excess
stamped and placed 3rd place/ed
in ivory crates does ivory have a relevance?
with canceled trains
of thought—misplaced, i like the wordplay

lost, and found again
on our lips, in our pockets.

tight but i think it could be a tad tighter.
thanks for the read as always geoff.
